I have searched a bit, but haven't been able to find a clear answer on the compatibility of the new Di R9150 with the older Di 9070 - in particular the shift buttons for TT. What I'm wondering is:
1) Does the new SW-R9160 TT/triathlon shifters (for the bar ends) and the SW-R9150 shift switch (thinking about these for the brake levers) work if the rest of your setup is Di 9070 (rear derailleur, battery, junction boxes)?
2) If they do, do the SW-R9150 shift switch plug into the junction box or do they plug into the STI shifters (which would make them unusable for a TT bike)? I remember the old sprint shifters for Di 9070 had to be plugged into the STI shifter, so they were of no use on a TT bike, but I have found pictures of a setup where the new ones are used on a TT bike leading me to believe they can be plugged directly into the junction box: http://www.seocycle.co.jp/blog/20170501_1044693

Any help much appreciated!
